No advice from your Goth Auntie today, as she had to take the heavy-duty meds for her back and is very groggy. Stop slouching, take your meds, and be kind.

Apparently my brain has decided it’s time to look for vintage real fur capes. I won’t touch new fur garments, but I love vintage furs. Am I going to find decent ones priced under $60? Probably not. But I’m still idly window shopping.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie -Big stretch! Have a snack, take your meds. -You’ve made it this far. That’s worth celebrating. -Bitey friend has promised to watch any flying reindeer, not try and snack on them. ❤️ Auntie Jilli

Stay safe out there y'all

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie -Big stretch! Drink some water, take your meds. -You deserve to be happy. You will be happy. -The Distant Ominous Music finally understands that carolers aren’t competition. ❤️Auntie Jilli

Reminder: You are not irresponsible if you choose not to watch that 60 Minutes story. In times like this, it is vital to prioritize your own mental health.

Someone snarked at me on FB: “all you post about is clothes and I thought I would see more about manners and justice like in your books. But guess that Jillian is so yesterday”. My reply: my efforts towards political activism and justice aren’t done online; I do things in person.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie -Stop slouching! Drink some water, take your meds. -Tell your people you love them. Never be afraid to do that. -The Lurking Horror had a nightmare that the feral blackberry thicket found us. Much reassurance was given. ❤️Auntie Jilli

Not all super powers are noble and strong. Some are downright weird. So harness your dark freaky weirdness and do some good if you can.

Dammit, I found something I want more than the pointy boots and it’s even more out of my budget. Oh, Blood Milk Jewels, my beloved tormentor. www.bloodmilkjewels.com/products/the...

Today’s advice free your Goth Auntie -No slouching! Drink some water, take your meds. -Things are extra stressful now. Make sure to do something, anything, that makes you happy. -The Lurking Horror and the Cursed Object built a blanket fort together with no squabbling. A miracle. ❤️Auntie Jilli

Uggggghhh. My back is still tight and occasionally spasms, I'm on day ... four? Of lidocaine patches, and I'm holding off on taking the big meds until I get through some dayjob stuff. This is dumb. But I saw my dr. today, and she's referring me for imaging and to an Orthopedist.

Dammit, the boots I've been coveting are back in stock, and my budget says NO. www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck...

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie: -Sit up straight, take three deep breaths, take your meds. -Set emotional boundaries and hold them.  -The Cursed Object came out of the walls to get a snack, but went back in because it “made new friends!” I don't know what that means. ❤️Auntie Jilli

I'm being whiny: Dammit, I want a cupcake. All of the places I could buy a single cupcake from use powdered sugar, which has corn starch, in their frosting. The Madwoman in the Attic, being a professional baker, has said in the past, "I can just make a cake!" But I ust want one single cupcake.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie -Unclench your jaw, have a snack, take your meds. -You don’t have to justify your existence. You are a delight. -The Cursed Object has been singing “Jingle Bells”, but has changed all the words to “Jam”. ❤️ Auntie Jilli

Dammit, I like this. I wonder if this design would offend the Madwoman in the Attic's sense of design and/or trigger a(nother) conversation about fit, proportion, and garments that work with my figure, not against it. But it is a cute blouse. selkiecollection.com/products/the...

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie -Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds. -You’re not responsible for everything. -The Lurking Horror and the Cursed Object had a fight while wrapping presents. Maybe being taped together will make them get along. ❤️ Auntie Jill

HANNICAT, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!

07-18-2023 The day I got them! 😆

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

SCHNABELPERCHTEN Austrian Folklore figures with long beaks, equipped with a basket on their backs, large scissors, needle & thread & a broom. The Schnabelperchten make their way through town on the 5th of January, on the eve of Epiphany #GothicYuletide

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

Armor.

Relaxation tips: Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Let your brain go quiet. Let your atoms float away on the soft evening breeze and become one with a sinister fog that creeps forever across the misty moors.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie -Stop hunching your shoulders, drink some water, take your meds. -If you feel like you hate everything, take a break and have a snack. That might help. -Yesterday the Lurking Horror sang soothing songs for me. ❤️ Auntie Jilli

ALL-TIME RECORD CREST! The Cedar River is so high it’s hitting bridges in downtown Renton. Scary and incredible to see. Thanks to my friend in town for sharing this video. #wawx

Premier news! The Vampire Lestat will premier summer of 2026!

BRAIN: "save rock n' roll" fall out boy please. ME: I thought we were on a Florence + the Machine loop? BRAIN: that was yesterday. ME: Are we heading to "THREAT LEVEL: Pete Wentz is not an emotional role model"? BRAIN: ... probably not? ME: Someday you'll be helpful.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie -Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds. -Any progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Be proud of that. -The Lurking Horror is no longer allowed to help with strings of holiday lights. So much untangling. ❤️ Auntie Jilli
